    Replacement 200TDi cylinder head

    Afternoon - just trying to do some homework - I'm a little nervous that I might have to replace the cylinder head on my 200Tdi. I've not tried yet, but I suspect the glow plugs are seized in the cylinder head, and after a bad experience a few years back trying to remove some, I am thinking it...

    Injector 4 feels seized in place

    Afternoon all - I'm looking to get my injectors rebuilt at the same time as my fuel injector pump. 3 of the 4 injectors came out fine, but the 4th injector (right at the back of the engine) is not budging - it feels properly stuck in place. Are there any techniques you can recommend to getting...

    Disco 200tdi fuel pump woes...

    Yeah, I think once I've got it off the engine, I will have a little bit of a fiddle before shipping it off - I watched a youtube on removing it, which stated you need to ensure timing is right and have a retaining bracket in place to avoid having the timing belt ping off, so waiting on that tool...

    Wipers not returning properly

    Morning all, While this is absolutely the tip of the iceberg for my 110, it's irritating me, as previous defenders have been fine. When using my wipers, when I click them back to "off", the blades literally stop in place, so I have to precisely time switching off so they go to their normal...

    Hello (again)!

    Hi all, I joined some time ago, but thought I'd re-introduce myself. I'm based in Norfolk, and running a 1990 Defender 110 CSW that's got a disco 200tdi. Lots done to it by PO, but still lots of work to do. Prior to this, I've had a '84 & '86 Ninety as well as a '73 S3 Lightweight. Photo of...

    Hello

    Hi there, Pleased to join the forum! I've recently purchased a 1973 series 3 ex army lightweight, and I'm going through the process of restoring it. I'm lucky that a lot of the bodywork and welding has been done, but there's still a long old list of items to do - I'm happy as a pig in muck...
